International Fest

On my way back to the capitol, stopped by the Overture Center to check out what was happening during the 30th Anniversary of the international Festival. There were foods and wares and goods from many nations and of course there was cultural enrichment via the arts. Took in some swinging reels and jigs with Last Gaspé, a little smooth guitar sounds from Cuba by Sergio, and the Madison Chinese Cultural Association brought out colorful dances, costumes and music steeped in the ancient traditions of the Chinese culture. Certainly the time spent here was enjoyable and a pleasant distraction from the true reason for being downtown, the crowd in and out of the Overture to be a part of this spectacular festival was strong and steady.
